This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

Because books.

I found a recipe online today for a sugar cookie cake (not made of, just tastes like). I'm in love.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I bought Nutella for the mug cake and now I eat it every day. It's crack. It has increased my consumption of whole wheat bread, so there's that, but crack. Nutella on whole wheat bread with a cup of Jasmine dragon pearl tea is amazing.

Man, my head hurts.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

So my neighbors have an adorable five-year-old daughter named Eva, and the other day we got into an argument!

Because, you see, she's a princess, and her mom's a princess, and her dad's cool, and her brother's cool.

I said that princesses can be cool too.

No! Princesses are princesses! Princesses are not cool! Daddy's cool!

Since when did "coolness" become male?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Since when did "coolness" become male?

Dawn of time, my male friend. Dawn of time.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I've never heard my kids ascribe a gender to "cool" PC, but perhaps she was ascribing a lack of coolness to princesses? Dunno. I'm pretty sure Alibelle would disagree with her on that one.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No offense, but that little girl is bullshit. Princesses are totally cool.

I bought Nutella for the mug cake and now I eat it every day. It's crack.

See?!? That is what I do not need.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm not racist, but...

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm not racist, but...

Huh. My office took time off from gender issues to explore race issues today. Started with someone stating that there were suburbs of Melbourne where he no longer feels comfortable (because, I think, of the number of Sudanese and/or Somali refugees settled there). Glad to report that he got called on it.

Wow, some of those are truly bonkers.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

today is like the perfect Friday at work. My boss is gone and the phones are being really quiet. I am leaving straight from work for a family thing in AUstin and of course had a million things to do, so I have been able to make calls, send emails, better pack the bags, and now I am doing my nails. I have done all the tasks left for me and have answered all new inquiries. whoot!
